Per the tendency of federal agencies to let it be publicly known that
they lie openly to trap suspects (and apparently this technique has been
OK'd for local enforcement as well):
This is going to backfire on them (and us), and probably has already.
If govt. protects its "sources and methods", however nefarious, to the
extent that the public is never asked to assent to these methods (even
though a few of us know about them anyway), then the public doesn't have
to become overtly cynical about what's going on.
On the other hand, whether you think the people have this much right to
know or not, when the public consciousness embraces the concept that the
police openly and regularly lie (and that it's a "good thing" they do),
the result will be greater public cynicism, distrust, paranoia, hatred,
and anarchy (the bad kind).
